I got a call today on my cell phone--415-506-1282 with the same message. Since the reception was bad at my location, I hung up. However--since there was a bit of curiosity as well as a bit of fear that it might really be the IRS--I called the number back when I changed my location. I actually got a person--a male who sounded like he was from India or somewhere like that (he was definitely foreign like the guys you get at night for computer or cable tech support). He said I would be arrested within 2 hours and he needed my attorney's number to fax over the arrest warrant documents and so the attorney could make bail arrangements Very scary, indeed! Now that I have Googled this number (reverse phone number) and discovered this call is indeed a Scam, as my brain suspected, I know why the guy finally hung up on me--I was asking too many detailed questions and he started to worry that I was having his number traced. Wow, what a wasted 3 hours of energy--and by the way, I wasn't arrested as he kept repeating I would be within 2 hours, thank God! Hope this helps.
I received 3 calls to saying they were from the IRS and if I did not call them further action will be taking. The number that I was told to call back is 415-506-1282. The person name I was to ask for was Officer Julie Smith. Not until I looked up this number and seen all theses comments theses people have nothing better to do with there time. This is def a SCAM and I will contact my local police department
